Mobb Deep's Prodigy found dead

2017-06-20 by Daniel Dias | 49 Comments
At age 42, Prodigy was found dead on the morning of June 20 in Las Vegas. Mobb Deep's publicist has made the following statement:

"It is with extreme sadness and disbelief that we confirm the death of our dear friend Albert Johnson, better known to millions of fans as Prodigy of legendary NY rap duo Mobb Deep. Prodigy was hospitalized a few days ago in Vegas after a Mobb Deep performance for complications caused by a sickle cell anemia crisis. As most of his fans know, Prodigy battled the disease since birth. The exact causes of death have yet to be determined. We would like to thank everyone for respecting the family’s privacy at this time."

Examiners are apparently looking at the possibility of him choking on an egg while at the hospital as a cause of death. Fuck man such a strange way to go if its true, really sad.

how crazy is it to die from something that was trying to kill you since before you were born and you were able to fight for 42 years. he didn't succumb to it he beat it in my opinion. rest in peace Mobb Deep's Prodigy
